First-Time-Mommy.Com Featured Birth Story: Makenah

It all began on the morning of January 7, 2013. I was being induced. I enter the hospital and began to prepare for my little one. As I wait for the pitocin to start working, I lay there and spend time with my mother and make phone calls to let all of my friends and family know that today was the BIG day.

Around 8-8:30 am my OB came in to break my water. My labor started to progress more quickly then. The pain from contractions were very uncomfortable, so I decided to get the epidural. Needless to say, I ended up having two! I didn’t feel much after that. I managed to keep a smile on my face most of the time.

Around 5:45 pm the nurses asked me to start pushing to get the baby’s head down even further.

At 6:14 pm my husband and I welcomed our beautiful, perfect little girl into this world!! She has changed our lives forever, and there is nothing i would change. we love you baby girl, forever and always!
